Nick Cannon - joining the club!

You've probably heard about actor, comedian, rapper, and television personality Nick Cannon's recent diagnosis of Lupus Nephritis, but I finally had a chance to catch up on his website, a few of his recent interviews, and his personal quest to raise awareness about lupus. Kudos to Mr. Cannon for his fabulous efforts and best of luck as he learns to live well, despite lupus!

In 2001, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus, at the age of 26. I had been married less than 6 weeks and was at a highpoint in my career in television production. While I fought to keep hold of the life I'd known - demanding, yet fulfilling career, busy social life, packed vacation schedule - after four years of running my body into the ground, I realized I was fighting life, not living it. Thus, I downshifted almost every aspect of my life. I let go of my career and made it my number one priority to get myself back in good health. I'm proud to say that I've reached my goal, but work each day to maintain that healthy lifestyle. despite lupus. My book details the steps it took to reach that goal. A native of Indiana and graduate of the University of Notre Dame, I reside in Alexandria, Virginia with my husband, two young daughters, and pug dog.
